“I’m going to try to be the next Will Smith.” Like Moss, Smith started off as a rapper before segueing into acting. Moss released a collaborative album last year with fellow recording star Omarion titled “Face Off.” Later this year, he is set to return to the studio to work on his seventh album, titled “H.I.M. (History in Making).”On the acting side, he recently wrapped the indie “Driving Lessons” and has appeared in the features “Roll Bounce,” “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” “Johnson Family Vacation” and “All About the Benjamins.”
